Frankie Rockin’ Smith, an artist known for blending timeless rock sounds with an undeniably modern energy, is back, kicking down the door with his upcoming, 5-track EP, ‘They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That No More’. Set to drop on 27th July 2025 via MFB Music Management, the new release is being championed as his most potent to date, delivering a searing collection of tracks that will see Frankie broadening his horizons beyond his established rockabilly roots.
For those who’ve followed Frankie, his raw, rootsy rockabilly has always been a hallmark. However, ‘They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That No More’ showcases a confident stride into the soulful edges of rocking country. It’s an evolution that feels both natural and exhilarating, revealing a new layer of his artistic fire and finesse.
The title track, ‘They Don't Make Em Like That No More’, is a pure, unadulterated slice of classic rock. Delivering with a scorching guitar line, it’s immediately clear why this song is being hailed as potentially his finest work yet. Dripping in retro rock swagger, the track is a gritty, golden slice of yesteryear, kicking up the dust with a steady rockabilly vibe and of course, Frankie’s signature howling vocals.
It’s a powerful anthem, a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of authentic music, and a clear indicator of Frankie’s ambitious trajectory. With lyrical nods to classics like ‘Jailhouse Rock’ and an overarching sense of nostalgia for legendary artists and songs that live on in the memories they created, it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the upcoming EP, and of Frankie’s music as a whole.
Beyond the title cut, the EP promises four more deeply personal tracks, each designed to highlight Frankie’s talents. His songwriting continues to be a standout, delivering lyrics straight from the heart that resonate with genuine stories. Vocally, he’s more versatile than ever, effortlessly transitioning from the raw, raspy shouts he’s known for to rich, deep country croons. It’s an EP that is set to show, while they might not make ‘em like they used, Frankie Rockin’ Smith is keeping the same spirit, energy, and rock ‘n’ roll swagger alive.
